B: Turn hook 180 degrees so back of work is facing you, push lps to opposite end of hook, pull B through one lp on hook, still with B, [yo, pull through 2 lps on hook] across, ending with one lp on hook (counts as first st of row, here and throughout).

Row 2:

A: Sk first vertical bar, still with B, tks across–22 lps on hook.

B: Turn hook 180 degrees, push lps to opposite end of hook, pull A through one lp on hook, still with A, [yo, pull through 2 lps on hook] across, ending with one lp on hook.

Row 3:

A: Sk first vertical bar, still with A, tks across–22 lps on hook.

B: Turn hook 180 degrees, push lps to opposite end of hook, pull B through one lp on hook, still with B, [yo, pull through 2 lps on hook] across, ending with one lp on hook.

Rows 4-111: Rep rows 2-3. Project should measure 31″ in length. Increase or decrease the number of rows in order to reach the desired measurement.

Binding Off

Still with B, sk first vertical bar, *insert hook as for tks in next st, yo, pull lp through st AND through lp on hook (slip stitch made), rep from *across. Fasten off, leaving approximately 14″ yarn end for seaming.

Assembly

Form a ring with your fabric by placing your cowl matching first row to last row. Take one side of the fabric for the cowl and turn it upside down. This will form the moebius twist. With yarn needle, seam the cowl together. Weave in the ends carefully and it’s ready to use!

For this project, I used a cabled double-ended afghan hook. If you are unable to find a cabled double-ended afghan hook, you are able to use a regular double-ended hook. It takes a little more thought when stitching, however. Open only the number of loops that will fit comfortably on your hook. Before you finish the row, turn and close those loops with the other color. Leave about three stitches on the hook. Turn the hook around and continue opening the stitches. Turn whenever you feel that there are enough stitches on your hook and close them, always leaving at least 3 before turning to open more. This will enable you to use even the smallest length of double-ended hook for a large project.

The merino wool used in this design is a DK weight. The recommended knitting needle size is
7. Look for comparable yarns that are approximately 136 yards to each 50 gram ball. But, honestly, this design will work with
varying sizes of yarn/wool. Simply make your beginning chain as long as you would like and start on the Stitch Pattern. Of
course, with different sizes of yarn, you will require different amounts and possibly, a different size hook. But, the pattern
should work just fine.

Tunisian Reverse Stitch (TRS): Placing your hook BEHIND your work, insert your hook in a side-to-side motion under the back vertical bar, yarn over, pull up a loop. For the
Tunisian Simple Stitch (above), you place your hook under the front vertical bar. This is the reverse. It makes a firm
ridge on the right side of your work.

Please see my Videos for the Tunisian Simple Stitch and the Tunisian Reverse Stitch.
